So, long story short, in a sleepy stupor, I accidentally accepted the prompts on SysNAND to update it's native firmware to 11.2.0-37, basically preventing me from being able to enter the boot entry screen (by holding down the "L" button on startup). I'm not certain what to do, as I can't seem to access HBL through BrowserHax...
Is there anyway that I can fix this, or will I need to restart from scratch with a different CFW (I prefer RXTools, and if it means keeping the progress/save data and games I installed on it, I'd like to stick with that)? And if this is an easy fix, will it keep all of my data before I updated SysNAND, or will it be all be lost? =/

Once your past 9.2 on sysnand you can't use any cfw at all! So if you have a nand back up then you should have a Hardmod installed to use it and your 3ds should be back to a hackable fw
Edit: why were you on sysnand in the first place? Emunand is almost mandatory unless you have a9lh which is the best thing to have

I believe it's because my girlie had started up my system, and likely didn't boot into the CFW (and it was just left on SysNAND). And I actually am not sure if I have A9LH (but I'll check to see; sorry to be a pain, I'm still really new to the 3DS modding community, and had actually gotten my system online already pre-modded).

EDIT: I should also mention I have an older N3DS LL (the Japanese MH3U black 3DS).

you were using rxtools. you only had emunand and not a9lh. get a hard mod done or get a whole new 3ds and do it again

Yeah, I'm seriously irritated with myself for the whole thing. I ought to have known better, but I must have been seriously out of it or something. Even fucking worse, is that this happened a week before the S/M leak, so I won't get to join in on that now.

The good news: if you are able to downgrade your SysNAND back to 9.2, you can install A9LH, move your current EmuNAND to your SysNAND, and keep all your games and saves while using Luma CFW. You'd no longer have to worry about updating SysNAND again, because your SysNAND would be updated already. Forget about rxTools; it is outdated and you can switch to any other CFW without losing data. Bookmark this: https://plailect.github.io/Guide/get-started

@Everyone Thank you guys so much for the responses. What I'll likely end up doing is utilizing the device as a general NTSC-J handheld for any Japanese games I might be interested in (such as Taiko no Tatsujin, Project Diva, etc.) and saving up for a pre-modded NN3DS XL. As saavy as I was with modding my PSP-1000, I can't say I'm as skilled with doing so with the 3DS, so I'll just bite the bullet, and pay the extra.
Again, I appreciate the help that everybody provided, and here's hoping I'm a bit smarter with modded devices in the future. Lol.

Installing a9lh is now much easier than rxTools by the way. If you managed rxTools then you can manage a9lh & Luma. So don't spend extra on a "pre-modded" console.
